Says on the back: Proprietary Blend 253mg GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin You can ask them directly at questions@lunarsleep.com, I use 1/2 a tablet when I awake in the middle of the night to fall back asleep. Works fine for that and no after effect in the morning.

There is no good reason. This is 50 mg per pill. The rest seem to be 12.5. I use this all the time and think this dosage was in short supply and someone may be taking advantage of the situation. There are other places much cheaper try breastcancerchoices.com

This is timed release. I tried taking other stuff and myhomo-cysteine skyrocketed. Went back on it and it came rightback down.

I have checked for this everywhere on the internet. It is the price advertised for that dosage and quantity. It appears to be backordered everywhere in this 50 mg dosage so some suppliers are hiking up the price because of demand. The best prices I have found for this dosage are on Life Extension and Pure Formulas. They are both back ordered but they are suppliers that have not hiked up their prices so I will not buy this from Amazon suppliers in the future when/if the price comes down when they are resupplied.

I don't remember. that was a long time ago. I think it was 250mg. I'd go by what's written and not by the pic.

I only use it when I know there will be a high stress situation. I don't know about consistent usage. I do know it works per situation but I do double sometimes triple the recommended dosage.

I think this should come from your doctor. I was recommended to use this powder by my naturopath and he prescribed me to take half packet 3 times a day. Because of the cost, I only did half packet a day, and still noticed that it made a difference.

I'm not sure what you are asking but this is a good product. My daughter takes it every day. I was giving her 1T. since she is nine and it states that an adult should take 2T., but I found she needs more so I give her 1 1/4 T. I hope this is helpful.

I have been taking the 500ppm but it says on the label that you can only take it for 14 days at that dosage. It's not designed to be an everyday supplement.

About the same. https://www.costco.com/Natrol%C2%AE-5-HTP-100-mg%2C-150-Tablets.product.11496102.html?catalogId=10701&langId=-1&storeId=10301&krypto=gkfwJ6R%2F6dqYQf62op7eD5apzfqrYsxcE2w2q5FelK04P1e0z53%2BPpKygfdLs1%2ByfK2x3xcIFGg0%0AC0k8s4HvjA%3D%3D

they claim 500 mg but, as another reviewer wrote, this IS from the leaves not the root extract. So I can't say. I know the recommended dosage worked for us. However, as with many alternative/holistic products, the rule of thumb is this- if you take it for 60-90 days and have no detectable or beneficial effects from the product, it's probably not for you. You may wish to try another brand, one that specifically states from the root only. Or it just might not be for you. I'm a retired RN of 30 years and I've had MANY DR.s use this rule of thumb for alternative treatments and they were all for trying something more "natural" vs a prescription med for a lot of their patients. Many benefited, some didn't. It varies widely from person to person. Hope this helps.

Physician on Dr Oz said higher doses could be taken with your doctor's permission. What's the highest dosage, I've lost my recording of that show.

If you are new to the product, you should check out the truehope website first. If I recall, you should start with a "loading dose" that is far higher, for several months, than the "maintenance dose" that people settle down to once their symptoms improve AND they have made changes (almost always lower - under doctor's supervision of course) in their prescription meds. These are no minor details if you or a loved one are suffering from a mental health condition. I would not experiment with this on my own. The web site offers phone and internet counseling to help, and I believe that is part of the higher price charged by them for the same stuff when you order it off their website...hope that helps you and anyone else reading this!

I dont recommend cutting it in half since it is time release formula so it is probably coated so that it is released slowly into your system. Most medications that can be cut in half are "scored" which means the manufacturer puts a line in the middle where it can be cut. You can look into purchasing smaller doses instead.

Must be an error, 2500mg is waaaaay too much. Serving size on my packet is 100mg, usually 100-150 mg a day is a good dose.

it is not extended release as far as iknow from all that i've read. the co. that sells it (guai-aid) can be contacted.
